The Elevation Of August Steve
"Come on, waiter," Tom taunted, his voice dripping with contempt. "You should lick it up while it's still cool," he added with a sly chuckle as his friends eagerly removed their phones to capture August’s humiliation for their amusement.
August was devastated, the money he had been saving for the past eight months barely amounted to $180. How would he muster $800 to spare himself from this humiliating ordeal? Stooping that low to lick the liquor on the floor was an option he rather succumbed to death sooner than consider.
"Please, give me until tomorrow. I'll find a way to borrow the money and pay you back," August pleaded, desperation creeping into his voice.
But Tom was not having it with him. “No waiter, everything starts and end today. If you are going to pay me the money then is going to be today and right now, or I will have to force you to lick up the liquor”.
August's devastation intensified as he realized the gravity of the situation, this was not optional like Tom presented it the first time. His intentions were clear; he did not at all cared about the money all he wanted was to have August lick the floor for their amusement.

Chapter: One Week“Because the votes are equal, August will remain the heir but for just one week. If he doesn’t correct the mess he’s made or causes more losses to the conglomerate then he will be replaced by Alexander,” the men decided.After that, the meeting was adjourned and the board members exited the room.“Young Master, you own ninety-seven percent of the conglomerate, you can easily buy up the remaining shares and then dissolve the board. In that way, no one would dare challenge your heirship,” Damien suggested nervously.“August placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. ‘That’s a good idea, but taking that route would make me a coward. Instead, I’ll prove to everyone that I am capable of leading this conglomerate.’ His voice was steady, firm, and filled with determination.“And how do you plan on doing that when you have no idea how the business world works?” Alexander asked scornfully as he took slow but deliberate steps towards their direction.There was a glint of satisfaction in his eyes, an

Chapter: The Vote Of No ConfidenceMurmurs erupted as the impudent declaration divided the room. Disapproval was boldly written on some of their faces, while others showed no offense, and a few wore expressions that were unreadable.The division in the conference was palpable. Another member rose from his seat and confronted the man who had demanded August’s resignation.“How dare you speak to the Gibson heir with such disrespect? August is the only Gibson still alive—if he steps down, who else will take his place?”Suddenly, the door to the conference room opened abruptly and a man stormed in. His steps were majestic as if a king returning to his palace after years away. He looked round the room and smiled smugly.The mysterious man was Alexander Gibson and he was accompanied by Mr. Hughes, the butler that poisoned Mr. Kane landing him in the hospital.August was puzzled seeing the man. He did not immediately recognize him as Alexander till Damien whispered it to him.Seeing him, the room broke into rumbling again. H

Chapter: The Conglomerate Dips“Four billion?” August lips parted heavily.GB was worth ten billion, losing drugs worth four billion was forty percent lost for the company. This was no good.“We had just completed our largest production in months. Yesterday, the factory workers reported that all our warehouses were filled to the brim, and I gave permission for shipping and distribution to begin today.”He continued, “This morning, while we were all waiting for the agency to clear the drugs, every warehouse was attacked simultaneously. The assailants were so heavily armed that our security couldn’t fight back. I have never seen anything like it — this wasn’t a heist. They didn’t steal a single drug; they came only to destroy everything.”“Whoever is behind the attack must be an insider, or at least had the help of one,” he added dejectedly.August’s stomach churned. He didn’t know whether to direct his anger at the manager or accept that Donald was not to blame. Donald had been managing the company since its foundin

Chapter: A Hunt For Alexander“Alexander?” August’s voice trembled between shock and disbelief. “But Mr. Kane told me he was banished from the country by my grandfather, how was he able to get in touch with Hughes? And besides, Mr. Kane raised Alexander like his son, why would he want him dead? This doesn’t add up!”Damien sighed and shook his head lightly.“Young master, Mr. Kane didn’t want me to tell you this, but for your safety it is best that you know. Alexander contacted Mr. Kane recently asking him to kill you and announce him as the new heir, in return he was offering Mr. Kane thirty percent of the family’s assets”.August’s eyes widened in utter shock. He couldn’t believe how evil Alexander was— a man who was supposed to be his uncle wanted him dead so that he could become the heir? His own flesh and blood.Damien went on, “When Mr. Kane refused to compromise, he promised to stop at nothing till he takes back his heirship, even if means killing anyone who stands in his way including Mr. Kane himself”.“I

Chapter: Mr. Kane Is Poisoned“You’re my husband, we’ve been married for two whole years. Yet here you are on a date with another woman and you expect me not to say anything and just walk away? This isn’t fair!”August was infuriated. The only thought whirling in his head was to get up and give this bitch a resounding slap across her face.“This is your last warning, Mia. Leave before I do something terrible to you!” He clenched his fists under the table.When Mia realized they were no chances of August accepting her as his wife, she switched to plan B — if she wouldn’t have him then Tina wouldn’t either.Immediately she dropped to the floor and started crying dramatically while shouting between the sobs.“Someone please help me! She has snatched my husband!”All the eyes in the restaurant shifted towards her. The other customers had already noticed the disruption happening at their table and were eager to know what was going on.They abandoned their food and gathered themselves around her. Some of them removed th

Chapter: Mia Wants August Back“Tell me, Tina,” Mia continued, her words even more accusing. "Does our friendship, the one we’ve had since childhood, mean nothing to you? How could you betray me like this?" "Mia?!" Tina’s face twisted with confusion, her chest tightening as she struggled to make sense of her friend’s words."It’s only been four months, Tina. Four months!" Mia hissed, holding up four fingers as she stepped closer, her voice barely a whisper. "And already, you’re flirting with my husband. Don’t you have any shame?"Tina’s jaw dropped with the weight of the accusation hanging in the air. She opened her mouth to speak but the words were stuck in her throat.August frowned, he was already angered enough that Mia walked in to disrupt this special moment. Accusing Tina even made him angrier. Husband? What was Mia even talking about?"Is it really so hard for you to find your own man? Why must you meddle in my marriage?" Mia’s voice rang with bitterness, each word laced with disappointment.Tina was not j

Rise Of The Ill-treated Michael Wayne
"I'll rise above this, and you'll face the consequences of your actions," he declared, a silent promise to himself amidst the noisy laughter.
“Now, you see that she was only using you all these time,” Jack said, and Sydney smiled slyly.
Sydney's cold words cut through the air, echoing her heartless confession.
"That's so true, I only used you to solve my Math problems. I would never want to kiss a guy drowning in unending poverty. This is not a fairy tale, where a princess gets to kiss a frog," Sydney declared, glancing down at the hole on the top of Micheal's shoe.

Chapter: EuphoriaMr Charles sat in the living room with a bandaged arm, watching the news alongside the Winchesters. The atmosphere in the room was filled with the aroma of relief and excitement. It was just few hours after the incidence at Arturo’s underground lair and their faces were all over the news. Michael made a chuckle as he switched from one news channel to another, their faces on any channel he switched to; the whole world was talking about them.This was not the first time he had appeared on the news but this was the first time he had received so much praised.“This ingrate! I hope he rots behind bars,” Mr Winchester said as the anchorwoman confirmed the arrest of the Chief Justice of the Federation.He was merely one out of the 250 EVA members, which included mostly government officials and other prominent persons in the country that were being arrested at the moment.The whole country was in uproar when the vice president himself was dragged out of the government house in handcuffs by M

Chapter: Arturo Is Arrested Michael stood shivering his bones out with blood spilled all over his face and the gun he once pointed against somebody’s head now pointed in the air.To their greatest dismay it was Mr Jones that was shot by Arturo’s men. “Yo-you shot your own man?” Mr Winchester asked in disbelief. He could have instructed them to shoot Michael instead if he wanted, but he chose to order for his own man’s execution. “Yes I did, I was going to kill him anyways. His life ended the moment he let my sister to be killed by you and your men. I did not just expect his death to be this quick, your son false my hand,” Arturo responded coldly.There was no need for the gun in Michael’s hand anymore; his hopes of using the gun to escape died with Mr Jones. Now he must again face what was before him, so he dropped the gun to the ground slowly.“Did you possibly think, I will allow a single man step between me and getting my revenge on you? You underestimated my course, Gareth Winchester!”“When have you becom

Chapter: Who Get's To Take The First Bullet?The men reacted differently following the disclosure; Mr Charles and Michael’s jaws dropped and their throats went dry in fear. They could only wish the ground should open up and swallow them. They were startled not because they were standing face to face with the man who led EVA and controlled the whole government officials low-key, but the fact that their security men killed his sister and he was probably there to get his revenge on them.But Mr Winchester was kind of excited rather than shocked like the others were. “Arturo! Is it really you? Oh my God! Look at you! I should have recognized you earlier, you’ve grown to be a carbon copy of your dad. Come on, give me a hug man,” Mr Winchester said ignorantly as he opened his arms towards Arturo only to be pushed away.He was so caught up in the realization that the man was the immediate younger brother to his childhood friend Vincent, that he forgot the man he tried to hug was the one behind all the terrible things happening in their

Chapter: Conclave ChamberIt was of no use struggling, the men overpowered them and covered their faces so that they did not see where they were been taken.Though the car drove on for only forty minutes, to them it felt like forever. Who wouldn’t feel that way when being taken to the unknown by thugs with your face covered.The car finally halted and the men dragged them out as Mr Charles continued to throw empty threats like he had been doing for the past forty minutes. “You morons! Get your dirty hands of me. Harm a hair on Michael and I promise you will never see the lights of day again”. But it fell on deaf ears, the men continued pushing and dragging them where they wanted to without uttering a word.Finally the thugs stopped, they thought they had arrived the location the thugs were supposed to take them. Suddenly, an electronic beep echoed and they could feel the room descending; they were actually in an elevator.It took several minutes before the elevator reached the ground floor. It was like descen

Chapter: The slayerThey could not even consider the possibility of Mrs McCoy lying to them about the identity; the Winchester slayer had proved to be wealthy and Influential like they were told about Arturo Adams.Michael was deeply pondered, not for the fact that his dad was a hostage to a drug baron who controls the government but what he might do to him considering the fact that his sister was killed by their security.“What do we do now?” Michael asked his father’s emissary whose legs were already shaking like he had just seen a ghost, anxiety painted all over his face.“Come on Michael, can’t you see the man is almost wetting his pants? The mention of Arturo’s name has taken away his ability to even reason. But let me help you and answer the question for him; the only thing you can do now is return home, pray and hope he doesn’t kill your dad today, but for sure he will definitely kill him not even the almighty could prevent it,” Mrs McCoy said coldly as a wicked smile invaded her face.Mrs clinch

Chapter: It's Been Alturo All Along“Do you by any chance happen to know who this Winchester slayer is?” The inspector asked curiously.“No inspector, the Winchester slayer’s real identity still remains a myth to us. But we have come to learn he is not just rich but very influential as well; even the government officials are answerable to him,” Mr Charles said dejectedly.“There are billions of places where he could be holding Mr Winchester. Without knowing who he is, it’s almost impossible to find your boss. Do you at all happens to have any clue of how we might find him?” The inspector asked intriguingly but Mr Charles shook his head slowly.“I think I might know someone who might have a clue of who he is,” Michael said setting the men on their toes. “Mrs McCoy, am sure she knows who this Winchester slayer is,” Michael added.“I will send my men to bring her in for questioning, right now. Don’t worry she will definitely give us the information; even if it requires beating the hell out of her till she vomits it”.“No i
